DARREL GODSIL ASCHBACHER
The Prineville Legend
Born: June 2, 1936 in Prineville, Oregon.
To: Laurie and Jake Aschbacher.
Description: A feisty redhead with beautiful blue
eyes that sparkled when he laughed.
Siblings: Older brother Ronald Jacob Aschbacher
baby sister Donna Eleanore Christina
Aschbacher; and older sister and confidant Thelma
Louise Slouber.
And the story begins…
He is very funny; it started when he was just a
tyke and followed him through life until
the day he died - what a joy! We all participated.
Laugher and high jinks from his fathers
Ochoco Creamery; the hay fields and cattle ranches
of Prineville; and then on to the
University of Oregon football team; the1958 Rose
Bowl; and the Philadelphia Eagles in
1959 where he roomed with John Madden. Oh, he’s not done yet…
High school in Prineville is where he met his
young, soon to be bride, Beverly
Aschbacher. They, with their two young children
David and Darlene lived this journey
together.
He went on to fly his beloved airplanes with Delta
Airlines from 1961 until he retired
(mandatory) at 60. And he just keeps keeping on…
Based in Dallas Texas, after a stint
in New Orleans, brought a whole new world to the
Aschbacher’s. And the fun just
continued… And yes, the awards and accolades have
kept him entertained and
delighted.
Darrel Godsil Aschbacher, full of love, crazy
beyond reproach, full of fun and has
impacted all that have been so lucky to call him family
and friend. Even those who only
know him in passing. He’s unique and adored by all
(most) unless crossed - be careful
and you know what I mean. Grouchy yes, but always charming.
The smile and bellicose
laughter ending in a yodel is what it means to
love Darrel.
Darrel is survived by his children, David
Aschbacher (Valerie Aschbacher), Darlene
Aschbacher (Barry Neuberger); and Caren Cooke
(Jean- Bernard Guerree); his
grandchildren, Nathan Aschbacher (Kate Aschbacher),
Eva Guerree, Tess Guerree,
George and Jane Guerree; and great grandchildren
Enzo Aschbacher, Carmen
Aschbacher.
Donations in memory of Darrel Godsil Aschbacher can

Fund.
